Reply to: question about a name! by SUSAN
Gael as a name is either a short form of Abigail (Gail) or a variation of Gale - click hyperlinks for meanings.

The word "gael" means:
1) A Gaelic-speaking Celt of Scotland, Ireland, or the Isle of Man.
2) A Scottish Highlander.

See here for lots of information: http://www.answers.com/gael

Gael in that sense is not a personal name.
